Gelsomino has such a powerful voice that he can knock down castles if he shouts. Upon arriving in the Land of Liars, he discovers that there the truth is forbidden and lying is compulsory. The king, a former pirate with an orange wig, punishes anyone who is sincere. With new friends, he will use his gift to stand up to the king and change the country's fate.

Giovanni Francesco "Gianni" Rodari was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his works of children's literature, notably Il romanzo di Cipollino. For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
